Silver Surfer #14

• THE LAST DAYS - "UNIVERSE 2.0" • Given unheralded new power, the Silver Surfer is tasked with REMAKING THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE! • From the laws of physics to the origins of new life itself, what strange new cosmos will Norrin Radd will into being? • Meanwhile, Dawn Greenwood has a far less intimidating task. All she has to rebuild... is Planet Earth. • Plus, if the Surfer, Dawn, and Toomie were the only survivors of the previous cosmos to make it into the void... • ...why are they not alone?!

Here you'll find some really wonderful art that's flowing and kinetic. The story doesn't really flow the same way, unfortunately, and is more just circling the drain in pretty widely meandering circles. I've read some recent comics reviews elsewhere that criticized the Secret Wars storyline for "getting in the way," and while there's no direct Battleworld or Doom references here, the publishing event itself does feel like a weight on this particular story.

This series is something of an oddity - it operates apart from the rest of the Marvel Universe, and it has a distinctive '60s flavor. A large part of that is Mike Allred's expressive, unique and energetic art. He's had lots of room to run wild in this series with wild (sometimes psychedelic) art, just as writer Dan Slott has crafted flights of imagination and originality. Put them together and you get a comic that's unique and a heck of a lot of fun! Read Full Review

Silver Surfer #14plays into the aftermath of Marvel's Secret Wars and tasks Dawn and Surfer with huge responsibilities. Sure, they can recreate the universe however they wantbut how creative should they really be with their own ideas? Letting their emotions get in the way can't cause anything to go wrongright?

Any fears that this series would suffer from being dragged into Secret Wars are turning out to be unfounded. With a few modifications, this "Last Days" storyline could just as easily be its own, independent conflict. Read Full Review

The end of Dan Slott's Silver Surfer volume isn't as much fun as the ends for Silk and Ant-Man, at least not yet. But, as always, Slott and the Family Allred deliver a solid issue of a building story. Read Full Review

"Silver Surfer" #14 ultimately feels like it was compiled by creators who are stalling for time. With the series almost at an end, I can understand wanting to extend for just a little longer. While a strong conclusion may very well be around the corner, this chapter feels like it's dragging its feet when it's time to get sent to bed. It's not bad, but its welcome is overstayed at this moment. Read Full Review

As a whole, Silver Surfer has been a wonderfully fun read, filled with interesting characters and plot points, unfortunately this issue was not indicative of this. I hope it doesnt turn off more casual readers of the series. Read Full Review
